I’m the sower here at Quillin. I set things in motion: clients, ideas, initiatives, campaigns, and resources. I plant seeds and work with brilliant minds to make them grow.

After working for ABC-TV in Century City on classic shows such as Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Barney Miller and Family Feud, I moved to Las Vegas in 1980 and began my career in advertising at Quillin Country on accounts including Nevada Power Company, US Home and Las Vegas Athletic Club.

Along my career path, I made stops as an executive assistant/speechwriter for a District Attorney, Lt. Governor and Governor in Nevada – all the same remarkable man, Bob Miller. In 1991, I opened Quillin Henry Communications with Larry Henry and an emphasis on political consulting. Quillin & Co.Advertising followed in 1993. It was a full-service agency which grew to be the fifth largest in Nevada. In 2001, I sold it.

In 2003, my beautiful and inimitable wife, Sharry, and I started again by opening Q ad | pr. Over the ensuing 17 years, we worked through many combinations of staff and clients while the core of our agency survived and evolved into a form different enough to warrant rebranding ourselves today as Quillin.

I love my community and have always worked to raise the quality of life here. I served on the board of directors for the American Cancer Society, Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada, American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, Nevada Citizens for the Arts, Nevada Association for the Handicapped, American Lung Association and Las Vegas Executives Association. Our agency is a soft touch for many non-profit organizations, as well. 

Did I mention that I love The Beatles?

If you are reading this it tells me you want to know a little more about me. I want you to know that I’m all about my big red hair and, yes, I’m everything you’d associate with it – loud talking, loud laughing and very passionate about how I live my life.

I am deeply committed to my career and my community. I LOVE what I do! I handle the financial and media side of Quillin. I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients and I will always have your back. Never give it a second thought. I work hard and smart. I’ve worked for as long as I can remember. It is where I’m most comfortable.

I was 17 years old when I started in the insurance industry and I opened my own agency when I was 19. I loved selling insurance because it taught me to sell! It also taught me the fundamental understanding of how business works and how important balanced books are to client and company success.

After selling my agency in 1996, I worked full time for Rapport Leadership Training in Las Vegas as their National Sales Director.

You can say I married into the advertising business – I met my “advertising guru” husband and joined forces with him in his agency in 1999. He later sold it, and together we opened Q ad |pr in 2003, and, as the saying goes, the rest is history – fantastic history.

So let’s talk media buying for a moment – I have local, regional and national experience. I am responsible for planning and placement of millions of dollars in national and local media. I love negotiating and won’t stop until I have the deal I want.

I’m a member of the United Way Women’s Council and American Heart Circle of Red. I’m a past board member of the Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada and give my support to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, Woman’s Club of Summerlin, Senior Law Program, Lied Animal Foundation, Heaven Can Wait and the American Lung Association.

Did I mention I’m crazy in-love with my three dachshunds? (any dachshund, really!)

Since I am located in the reception area at Quillin, I am often referred to as the “Gate Keeper.” I’m not sure that I like that title, but I am the first person to greet you and usually the first friendly voice to answer your call. Whatever my title, I am here to help you. I am also the Media Coordinator (I like that better) for all media time spot reports and distribution of media traffic. I also serve as proof-reader (another good title) for many Quillin documents and reports. Just call me Estie! That will work.

Throughout my career, I have held many different positions within the corporate world. Before coming to Quillin in 2005, I spent 15 years as corporate secretary for Nevada Savings & Loan which eventually became Primerit Bank. Prior to that I spent 10 years as administrative assistant to the managing partner of the national CPA firm Alexander Grant & Company when they opened an office in Las Vegas.

My career began at the prestigious advertising firm of Foote, Cone & Belding in the media placement department immediately after graduating from Woodbury Business College in Southern California. In this position, I handled the scheduling of ads and media placement for several very large clients not realizing that many years later it would lead me to Quillin.

I was born and raised in Beverly Hills, California and moved to Las Vegas in 1948 and have been here ever since. I have a daughter and a son, both born and raised in Las Vegas. My daughter is Quillin’s own Sharry Quillin. I live in Sun City Summerlin with my two wirehaired dachshunds Josie Bear and Lucy Bruin, both who claim to be “UCLA graduates.”

Go Bruins!

I hail from Missouri, famously known as the show-me-state. Though Missouri is a wonderful place, after getting my first taste of travel I began looking for the show-me-the-way-out-of-the-state sign.

In Missouri, we “waited” for innovation to arrive; it was this adversity combined with my own curiosity to know what was happening in the world that I couldn’t see or feel but always imagined existed. In retrospect, I was outgrowing MO when I signed up for the school marching band in order to travel. In college I enrolled in an intercultural studies program, where I studied and lived in China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan; these adventures helped me realize my own strength and recognize the central thread which connects us all, regardless of race, culture, religion or socio-economic status, the power of our story.

Shortly after I put my passport down for a rest, I tackled my fear of public speaking head-on and majored in communication. I earned over 30 public speaking awards and was selected to deliver the graduation speech at my university. My adventures in Asia and my pursuit of communication instilled in me a passion for storytelling.

After graduation I went to work for an advertising agency whose clients focused on the culinary industry, I was still in the Midwest but was afforded the luxury of working on national accounts along with The Food Channel; where I was included in the editorial strategy and planning during the first year of launching the now, social and interactive site that foodies and aficionados alike frequent daily for inspiration. It was here that I earned my creative stripes and solidified my decision to make a career in advertising and move west in pursuit of my dreams, to be surrounded by innovators and warm weather.

After a few trips to Vegas and continual campaigning by Vegas locals, like many who have gone before me, I packed my bags, hopped on a plane and waived my last goodbye to the middle states.

Upon arriving I found a wonderful advertising firm, Quillin. I was impressed with their talent, client roster, focus on the future of the digital hub agency and their sincere interest to see their clients and city succeed. Quillin was a natural fit. Whether we’re creating integrated marketing campaigns, developing apps, shooting commercials or incorporating the next big thing, we’re always looking ahead of the curve to determine the right move. All of those years of longing to be in the crux of creation and innovation are a distant memory.

I now get to run and hike the beautiful mountains of Red Rock Canyon, chat with and tweet with the movers and shakers of downtown Las Vegas. (without a snow shovel in my garage)

My profession is very competitive and constantly evolving. As Membership Director for the Las Vegas chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), I network closely with brilliant designers that keep me up on the newest trends and inspire me to do my best work.

When I’m not designing or helping out in AIGA, I enjoy being outdoors camping, running and climbing. We “creatives” tend to sit in front of a computer all day, so being active is a great way to burn off some built up energy.

I also volunteer to help local dog shelters with donations. I coordinated a Quillin Doggie Blanket Drive for The Animal Foundation. With the help of various co-workers, friends and family, we brought in over 90 blankets and other doggie necessities. Tails were really wagging!

Quillin is an awesome place to work. All my peeps are creative in their own way and it’s always fun to see the ideas begin, grow and flow out of our tightknit boutique agency - with my fingerprints all over them, of course!

I’m a true born and raised Las Vegan…a unicorn of the desert, if you will. (Since people don’t think we exist). But, unlike some of the wild personalities you might find on Fremont Street on a Friday night, I would describe myself as laid back and relaxed, sprinkled with a gentle touch of sarcasm and overflowing with terrible dad jokes and bad puns. I understand if you want to stop reading now.

If you’re still with me, bless your heart.

I’ve always considered myself a storyteller of sorts, so it’s really no surprise that I ended up in marketing and advertising. Like a pure-bred Las Vegan, I landed what I like to call my first “Big Girl” job in the casino industry. After dabbling in casino marketing & advertising, I put on my event & entertainment hat, planning property events for 10 people up to 1,500. I hung up that hat to pursue my true career passion – social and digital marketing. Maybe it’s the Vegas in me, but I crave the fast-paced and ever-evolving environment the digital space offers.

When I need an escape from the social world, I retreat to lifting and moving heavy objects or sweating it out in a hot bootcamp class. I’m always pushing for gains, whether it’s in the gym or on a social media campaign.

If you’re looking to explore the next chapter on your social media journey, you’ve landed on the right PAIGE in the book.

After graduating with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Business Administration, I was fortunate enough to have built a professional career working for companies operating in different industries such as retail, food & beverage, oil & gas, construction, and real estate. My experience has mostly delved in operations, market research and business development. Prior to coming to the United States, I worked as a Project Manager handling the sales & operation of several real estate community projects located in different regions of the Philippines.

My love for marketing has pushed me to pursue a second master’s degree – this time in International Marketing with specialization in Project Management, which I was able to obtain with Academic Distinction and an Outstanding Peer of the Year award. During business school, I was exposed to digital marketing, which furthered my knowledge and experience in email marketing, paid search & social media advertising. After graduating, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in Digital Media & Communications for the same school and as a Digital Marketing Analyst, assisting a former professor in her consulting business by conducting competitive research, website, and social media audit for clients.

Working for a marketing & advertising agency has always been a dream. Now, I am living it with Quillin as its Advertising Account Executive. I find excitement in the fast-paced environment that working in this field offers. I also get to practice my passion for both project management and digital strategy development while working with the most amazing team of people who just love what they do.

During my MBA, I was given the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with a business school in France and develop friendships with students from around the world. The experience allowed me to explore neighboring countries during my 5-month stay which made me realize how much I enjoy traveling. I have already visited 20 countries, and I intend to add more to that list. Hopefully soon!

You may probably hear me using “Marv” as my coffee-shop name as I figured it would be easier to spell than my first name. Most of the time, I just end up answering to whatever name I hear them call me.

Born and raised in Benton Harbor, MI, just off the shoreline of Lake Michigan, my deep curiosity to experience new places and new cultures motivated me to travel at an early age. Following my graduation from Grand Valley State University with a degree in Communication Studies, I headed off to the great melting pot city of Las Vegas. Here, I found so many of the people and experiences I was longing to encounter – all of which led me to Quillin Advertising to begin my career in marketing as a Social Media Coordinator.

I’ve chosen the perfect career to fulfill my personal passion for engaging with people from all walks of life. I also believe I’ve found the perfect agency from which to begin. Quillin provides a warm culture of trust, creativity, and collaboration. I’m encouraged to expand my knowledge of all marketing strategies and tactics. I learn something new every day.

I love spending time with my family and friends. I’m an avid reader. I follow trending fashion styles for fun. Self-care is very important to me, so I always find time to pamper my hair, skin, and nails. And, yes, I’m still quick to put myself in new social situations where learning about others helps me to learn more about myself.

I look forward to meeting you.

Born in California. Raised in Viva Las Vegas. I was born & bred a city gal. I didn't choose the fast life; the fast life chose me. After graduating high school, I packed my bags and moved to Nebraska to take on college life - where endless plains meet boundless possibilities. I was ready to embrace the rhythm of rural life in the Cornhusker State. With a passion for all things digital and creating meaningful connections, I knew marketing was the perfect fit. I graduated from Bellevue University with my bachelor's in marketing. 

Right after graduation, I wasn't quite ready to return to the city life. Instead, I really welcomed the heartbeat of the countryside and dove headfirst into the world of marketing by snagging an internship at a local marketing agency located in Omaha, Nebraska. This was the start to my professional marketing journey. My nine-month long internship turned into a full-time gig as a Social Media Coordinator. Four years of college turned into eight years of living the country life. But just after getting comfortable in the cornfields, I was ready for change. From the heartland to the desert oasis - I was itching to get back into the neon lights.  

Once again, I packed my bags at the start of the year and headed back HOME. In pursuit of a new chapter, yet dedicated to my passion for social media marketing, I stumbled upon Quillin Advertising. From my first interview to my first day, Quillin welcomed me with open arms, making me feel right at home. Armed with a love for engaging content and a flair for community building, I'm here to elevate our clients’ social game. Amidst the hustle of the online world, I find solace in traveling, quality time with family, and indulging in retail therapy. Stay tuned for captivating content that'll keep you coming back for more.

I'm happy to tell you a little bit more about myself! I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and have been here since. I love Las Vegas and have found a place in the art community. I have a background in fine arts and have loved painting and drawing since I was little. I wanted to make my younger self proud and fulfill my dreams of becoming an artist. I started as a painter and muralist but then took an interest in Graphic Design. I studied Graphic Design and Media at UNLV and graduated in May 2024. Throughout my university years, I actively contributed to the student group of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), where I proudly served as secretary on the executive board for two years. I'm happy to be a part of AIGA because I love the inspiration and creativity that comes from networking with my peers.

I'm passionate about graphic design because it enables me to express my artistic and creative abilities professionally. Quillin's commitment to excellence motivates me to push the boundaries of my artistic and creative abilities, ensuring that every project I undertake reflects my personal style and the agency's high standards of quality and innovation.

When I’m not creating for clients, you can find me snowboarding, discovering the newest sushi bar or find me at a local art show.

My story began in Redondo Beach, California - a beautiful hometown with perfect weather, amazing friends, and a wonderful family. So, naturally, I had to get the heck out of there! I headed to Santa Clara University in Northern California and earned my bachelor’s degree. Following in my father’s footsteps, I studied marketing for my first two years, then developed a love of communication and storytelling which inspired me to pursue a second degree in filmmaking.

As I honed my skills as a storyteller, my own story took a massive turn - I met my lovely future fiancé, Kalina, in our last year of school. Post-graduation, we moved to Las Vegas and settled into a new incredible community. I immediately started my career in the broadcast television industry as an Account Executive. One pandemic, one new home, and one proposal later, I reached my five-year point. As I developed sales skills, met with clients, and formed relationships, I found my professional groove. At this point, I realized that I could do more to help my clients and take my services in telling their stories to the next level.

This is what led me to Quillin. While here, I’ve found it incredible to be surrounded by such engaged and creative minds. I am focused on building relationships and strategies for clients that will last lifetimes. My story still has much left to be told, but Quillin is proving to be a pivotal chapter in my life. Here, I hope I prove to be equally as important of a chapter in yours!

As a devoted wife to my wonderful husband and mom to both a wacky human baby and two fur babies, I find great joy in my family’s happiness and spending as much time as I can with them. I am a true Las Vegan. Nowadays, I feel like there aren’t many of us left who have decided to stay. I have been called quirky (okay, maybe they said weird, but I interpret them the same).

My professional journey began in (yep, you guessed correctly) the casino industry where I dipped my toes into the workforce through retail; every 18-year-old girl’s first job! However, I knew this wasn’t my forever career and began following my marketing passion in college, where I received my bachelor’s degree in business marketing at UNLV. This is also where I met my husband, my better half, my rock. I’ve never been one to shy away from work and while juggling full-time work and studies, I seized an opportunity at Aria Resorts to get my foot in the door with MGM Resorts International (MGMRI).

It made sense to follow my family’s footsteps and begin my MGM path in the entertainment world working for Cirque De Soleil. Transitioning to international marketing, I became an Executive International Host at MGMRI and began building relationships with both clients and colleagues. It is fitting for someone who personally has no interest in gambling to have their job experience solely focused on casino gaming, right? 

My international host family was truly a second family to me. However, the onset of COVID prompted me to shift towards my true passions: advertising and marketing. I left the big corporate world behind and went to work for a family-owned private equity firm as Marketing Director, overseeing marketing initiatives for real estate nationwide. I loved every minute but was ready for the next big thing. To broaden my horizons, I began a new adventure with Quillin, as Account Executive. In my short time with Quillin, I can tell how special the agency and the team are. The family-like dynamic, commitment to their clients, and overall welcoming culture make me feel like I have found the true place I belong. Now I strive to provide the same level of commitment and excellence to my clients here.

And as for a personal pursuit of more dogs? One might magically appear in my house soon!
